At our last MT seminar, we had Jacqueline Rowe from @EdinburghUni presenting her work "Beyond Benchmarks? Measuring Gender Bias in Multilingual LLMs"

[MT Group at FBK @fbk_mt]

🎓Today we attended the @FBK_research PhD Day, and our amazing students presented their research lines:
@apierg: gender-inclusive translation
@lina_conti: explainable speech translation
@FBKZhihangXie: long-form SpeechLLMs
@dhairya_su47605: resource-efficient translation

Impressive work by the Glitter team: a new human-made benchmark for German gender-inclusive MT with long passages and multiple inclusive approaches + experiments showing that MT systems and LLMs still fall short in generating inclusive outputs.

Super interesting paper by Subramonian et al: "Agree to Disagree? A Meta-Evaluation of LLM Misgendering" https://t.co/trPcbeeR8M
Turns out, misgendering is messier than just pronouns. I'd love to see this analysis extended to grammatical gender languages! #LLM #AI #ethics @fbk_mt

@zmprcp Great work, congrats :)

[Andrea Piergentili @apierg]

Brilliant and necessary work by @zmprcp et al. about metric interference in MT system development and evaluation: https://t.co/zNJ4MlJYfZ
Are we developing better systems or are we just gaming the metrics? And how do we address this?
Super (m)interesting! 👀
